Breakfast nook

Just finished a breakfast nook for my daughter. I learned a lot in the process, as always. Bench is in 3 parts. Table is solid oak trestle table with cherry accents for the pins. Finished with 2 coats of dewaxed shellac and 4 coats of urethane all in natural color.

SRWoodworker – the backs are at an 8 degree angle. The end benches were easy. However, the corner bench then becomes a compound angle where it meets the other benches. It took a little trial and error to get it just right, using Charles Neil’s motto of “just sneak up on it”. Modeling the entire project in sketchup helped with the angles.Dusty56 – Yes the seats of both benches do tilt up for storage.

Don,Very nice execution on the breakfast nook. I like the natural look. That is the kind of results I wish to have when I get some more experience and practice under my belt. I am a lumber rookie right now. Nice Job!
